They forced their subjects to work about 80 days a year(when the demand for agricultural labor was low) ,building massive pyramids and statues in honor of the gods and the Pharoh himself.
The common people of the empire were like slaves constantly working.

Empires
The Nubian empire was the empire below Egypt.
Nubia sought to control trade by controling the Nile.
Nubian King Kushta organized an army that conquered Thebes in 760 B.C.E
Kushta's decendants cemented Kushite rule in upper Egypt and claimed the title of Pharoh
Eypt was separated into 3 kingdoms: The Old Kingdom, The Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom
In the Old Kingdom the power of the Pharohs was greatest
It was during this period that the prominent structures of the Egyptian empires were constructed, like the largest pyrimid of Khufu.
During the Middle Kingdom the power of the Pharoh decreased do to high agricultural productivity
The New Kingdom was a prosperous time for the Eyptian empire.
The population soared and Pharohs sought to expand the boundries of the Egyptian empire
They began seizing control of regions that might threaten Eyptian power.
Nations and nationalism
The pyramids built in ancient Eypt were built not only for the gods but to demonstrate Egypts power and wealth to the rest of the world.
Statues and temples were built to demonstrate Egyptian culture.
Revolts and revolutions
At the end of the Old Kingdom several regions in Egypt became so powerful (because of high agriculture productivity) that they began to ignore the Pharoh altogether.
This inturn, weakened the Pharoh's power greatly.
Which led to the Nubian's to invade Egypt and gradually and obtained power.
